    The new campus would house 12,000 of the company's employees under one roof, as well as take advantage of technologies that the company has picked up by building its retail stores over the years.

    Apple's new campus will house its own energy centre to power the complex. It also splits apart the research and development facilities from the main building.

    Like Apple's retail stores, Apple's new campus will have a heavy focus on glass. During his presentation to the city council earlier this week, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said that there won't be a single piece of straight glass in the building.

    Renderings of Apple's new building show it tucked away from any nearby roads or intersections. Apple's current campus is right next to both the freeway and De Anza Boulevard.

    The Centro de Tecnificacion Deportiva in western Spain is a large, circular building designed by José María Sánchez García. It, too, is surrounded by trees, although it's focused on training athletes rather than on creating new technology.

    The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC features a perfectly round design, much like Apple's plans. It was designed by architect Gordon Bunshaft, with construction beginning in 1969.
